Energylandia just will not stop! Now the park have announced / put permission in for 3 new major coasters before 2020!

Mine TrainFirst is a mine Train attraction featuring a maximum of 3 lifts, a maximum height of 15m and a track length at a of approximately 1200m.

Inverted Multi-Launch CoasterThis attraction will have a track length of around 1000M, a height of 35M, 5 inversions and a top speed of around 60MPH!

Then finally the big one...

RMC I-BoxThe park are also looking to add a beast of an RMC. Standing at a maximum of 60 meters (making it another ‘hyper RMC’ after Steel Vengeance) and featuring 3 inversions this thing will be awesome! A top speed of around 70mph is also expected with the track being around 1300m long!

Not only this, but the park have also filed for funding to build a “innovative Tilt Coaster”!

This park is seriously getting some insane attractions now, and I cannot wait to see what’s next...

Lots more information has risen up around the park's 2018 Hyper Coaster in the past couple of weeks!

Firstly, we have the coaster's name: Hyperion! I personally think this is a pretty cool name, and it's great to be able to call it by its full name instead of just "that big hyper".

Next up, the park have done a huge update on the coaster's theme and design on their Facebook page. Here is a (very rough) translation of today's information:

The Cosmonauts team is going on a research mission to the distant moon of Saturn. Somewhere in a remote space, the "Hyperion _ 1" ship encounters a black hole and is suddenly drawn into a wormhole. The crew after being time travel reveals a completely different universe and a new, twin to earth planet called hyper novi... Curious what happens next?In 2018, this science fiction is going to happen to EnergyLandia thanks to the investment of mega coaster hyperion.This device we into space of sensations and sensations, we will take you on a remarkable journey into the world of the future, both in terms of feeling and tematyzacji.From the entrance to the station you will be drawn into space, which will create unique design and special architectural solutions. Detail Tematyzacja will also include ubiquitous media and computer simulations.Our Ultra-modern hyperion ship is going to cross all possible speed records, altitude, extremities and time limits, setting absolutely extraterrestrial standards!Due to the launch of the hyperion, a special, film in the history of the parallel world will be created.The experience will be spectacular and there will be a lot of them, because our hyperion has she a lot of innovative and innovative solutions; among other things, the tunnel, the water effects, the unexpected gravitational effects during a number of returns at the giant sizeHyperion's investment is a powerful project which, apart from the involvement of the vast area, is mobilising giant resources and human capital, putting entertainment at the highest world level. It is worth mentioning that hyperion will be absolutely the only one of its kind - created by the company of Intamin Amusement Rides, on our order, with a unique design, which, among other extreme devices, will be an explosion of sensations and an absolute adventureThe construction of hyperion has already begun - the final work is planned for season 2018!

The park also posted some promotional and concept art, including this one of the station:More can be found on their Facebook.

Looks like the park is putting the effort into creating a space/sci-fi theme for Hyperion, which is really good to see!

Burniel | Great at theme park knowledge, not so great at designing signatures.

Most of the money is coming from EU grants and loans. As Poland is quite poor (compared to other parts of Europe) they are trying to encourage tourism, in this case with Theme Parks. I don't think there were any large scale ones preexisting.

Surprised they are going with an RMC, I would have assumed they were using European manufacturers exclusively (I know that RMC is represented by Vekoma so I guess it's technically a Vekoma rather than an RMC?)

Interesting to see they are using a chain lift instead of a cable lift. I thought at first it might have something to do with the cars being 4 seats wide, but then remembered Skyrish uses a cable lift and has similar cars.

I'm seriously thinking about booking flights to Poland after seeing this

The first official POV is up and it looks stunning. Amazing pacing, the little pops of airtime between the elements should also be great, as Intamin are legends when it comes to airtime on their hypercoasters.

The lift hill does seem a little on the slow side though Hopefully that will get sped up a little before opening.

It's been confirmed that a 37 year old park employee has been killed whilst he was attempting to retrieve a mobile phone. Below is a rough translation from a local news site:

- At. 20.30 one of the employees of Energyland saw that one of the guests had a mobile phone. He wanted to pick him up and then one of the wagons hit him - informs Małgorzata Jurecka, a press officer of the Poviat Police Headquarters in Oświęcim. - 37-year-old resident of the Czernichów commune died on the spot - he adds. Police and prosecutor work on the site of the tragic incident.

There aren't any more details at this stage, but there are bound to be lots of questions surrounding just how this tragic event could have happened.

The tragic accident occurred on Thursday, August 16, around 20:30. According to the police, the service technician bent over a mobile phone lying under the Hyperion roller coaster, which was probably lost by someone. He did not notice the oncoming carriage and was hit on the head.

First and foremost, thoughts have to be with the family of the employee. It's an awful thing to have happened.

I expect Hyperion will be closed for at least a short while to allow for investigations to take place. The first thought that came into my mind was how was an amployee allowed into the ride area without the ride being shut down? Or why did the employee decide to go to retrieve the phone before checking the ride was shut down and safe? One report I've seen suggests the employee was unaware of the oncoming train - does that imply something about the employee's ability to assess and manage risk?

I'm sure a full investigation will be carried out and any questions answered. It's just horrifying to think that this coud even happen

Saddened to hear about the death of the park employee. Thoughts with family and friends.

Apparently there is a video (I haven't seen it) from earlier this year of an Energylandia employee entering a ride area whilst the ride was still in operation to retrieve someones lost property. It'd be worrying if this happened to be a regular practice, as it most definitely isn't safe as this horrific incident has unfortunately demonstrated. I imagine there will be some pretty serious questions about the park's operational safety procedures that will need answered.
